Cruz needs 50% to make a win worth it. Otherwise, it’s proportional and the delegates are pretty much evenly distributed.

As I said on Trump in SC...

40% would be a grand slam.
30-40% is a base hit.
Less than 30% is a strike.

But if Cruz picks up more delegates than any other candidate, it is significant. He stays in the game.

Yep. With a week to go, and a roaring gale in his sails, Trump could coceiveably break that 50% threshold and take all the Texas delegates.

In the meantime, Ted is slipping into oblivion, and might just barely match Trump’s vote total here, to keep it proportional.
